MF air seeding equipMent

Research, development and extensive field testing have combined to produce an exceptional new series of air seeding equipment from Massey Ferguson, aimed specifically at meeting the demands of large-scale farming operations. This new range includes Single Disc Drills, Tyne Drills and Air Carts, all with a variety of working and transport widths to suit every situation.

The discs lift and displace soil from the seed furrow and create enough loose dirt for the packer wheels to adequately pack.

The Massey Ferguson Single Disc Drill does not have a gauge wheel running next to the disc. This allows the soil to lift and flow back against the packer to be re-leveled over the seed furrow.

Competitive drills’ gauge wheels run next to their discs, firmly holding residue and soil in place. If the residue is not cut, it is tucked into the seed furrow. Even when seeding into very wet, humid residue, Massey Ferguson Single Disc Drill operators have not reported tucking as a problem. They also haven’t had to wait for residue to dry.

On other drills, the gauge wheel position also causes sidewall compaction, or smearing. By trying to hold the soil in place, certain conditions actually compress soil against the blade, causing a compacted seed furrow. Smeared or compacted sidewalls also inhibit root development and, ultimately yield.

The Massey Ferguson patented “opposing single discs” lift and displace the soil between the two narrow 6-inch rows. The loosened soil coming off of the twin discs, flows back against the trailing packer which re-levels and firms the soil over the seed rows. This soil displacement eliminates sidewall compaction, hair pinning, and open seed furrows while leaving a 6-inch blackened strip to encourage soil warming.

Massey Ferguson’s single disc drills reduce hair pinning and eliminate sidewall compaction

Easy depth control adjustments Simple daily maintenance (once every 24 hours) Annual greasing of bearings on all discs and packer hubs

right away, you’ll notice details that make the single disc drill easier to operate and maintain, including:

depth control adjustment Height of the drill frame sets the depth of the row units. As the drill rises, the discs seed shallower. As the drill frame lowers, the discs seed deeper. Packer tires hold the discs precisely at seeding depth.

Depth control collars, in the frame cylinders, hold frame exactly at desired height.

precise down pressureThe down pressure is precisely maintained by a hydraulic cylinder on each tool bar. The pressure is constant throughout the entire range of cylinder travel. Pressure on the cylinders is controlled by the operator on-the-go. A pressure display on the down pressure control box allows the operator to monitor down force on the toolbars.

standard monitor features

(isO 11783 compatible) • Variable rate capable State-of-the-art electronic system to monitor and control all Air Cart functions

The ISO compliant ECU (Electronic Control Unit) on the Air Cart monitors all critical information including fan speed, bin levels, meter status, ground speed, and acres. On variable rate units, it also allows the operator to monitor and change rates from the tractor and facilitates mapped application. This unit will work with all ISO-compliant virtual terminals and will operate with most ISO compatible systems. For guaranteed compatibility, the Massey Ferguson C-1000 virtual terminal is recommended.

ISOBUS design Ground speed Fan speed Acre count Bin level sensors Meter status sensors Meter shaft status Product use information

Advanced Monitor System

The model C-1000 virtual terminal is the perfect complement for the Air Cart ECU. The full color screen displays important information logically for the operator. Seeding rate, bin level status, acres, ground speed, fan speed, optional blockage and NH3 application are displayed on the home screen for minimum operator input. Calibration screens are simple to access and displayed for operator ease. Robust and reliable, the C-1000 can be depended upon for years of trouble free service.

Ribbon-seeded bands and multiple fertiliser placement options offer small grain yields that other seeding systems just can’t match.

The seed ribbon system with packed rows makes seed bed utilisation the highest in the industry. Plant response is a much stronger stem, superior roots and maximum yields. Through years of seeding trials, the Concord (predecessor to the Tyne Drill) proved over and over again this key to maximum production.

Depending on your choice of seed openers, fertiliser can be placed with the seed in a wide ribbon or place a portion of the fertiliser in the seed ribbon with the remaining fertiliser safely below the seed or off to the side. This seeding system offers the most flexibility in fertiliser placement. The system best for your farm can be tailored to match your tillage practices, soil, rainfall and tractor capacity. (Only available on drills with 15-inch spacing)

The key to uniform emergence in cereal grains is proper packing. The Massey Ferguson Tyne Drill weighs thousands of pounds more than most competitive drills. Combined with its wide packing wheels, this gives the Massey Ferguson Tyne Drill the best chance of superior seed-to-soil contact. Packing wheels are mounted on the walk beams with every walk beam separately spring mounted to the drill frame. Running over stones or on ridges will not hinder uniform, even packing.

Tyne DrillThe Massey Ferguson Tyne Drill offers one pass seeding and exceptional small grain yield potential.

Shanks are optimally placed on the Tyne Drill for maximum residue clearance. There are no clog points where shank placement is compromised to fit the drill frame. Optional coulters are available to allow operation in extreme residue conditions such as corn or sunflower stalks.

Optional disc levelers on the shanks will eliminate stepping (rear ranks covering front ranks to make a stepped field finish). The result is a smooth field finish regardless of field speed, allowing more acres seeded with no compromise to field finish.

The Massey Ferguson Tyne Drill is proven for superior equipment longevity. Operating costs on

the Massey Ferguson Tyne Drill consist of wear items: ground openers and air hoses.

An option for the tyne, cutting coulters give a tremendous advantage in heavy residue. Each shank has a cutting coulter devoted to clearing and cutting. With optional cutting coulters, seeding into standing corn stalks and heavy wheat residue is made easy.

For minimum-till and no-till applications, with superior fertiliser placement options, the Tyne Drill will be an efficient, high yielding choice for your farm.
